No I am saying to me it seems like the vast majority of confusion for new users is giving them this super long detailed explanation of federation, and/or users trying to figure out which instance they should be joining. As a new user all you really have to know is to go on lemmy.world and signup and its just like reddit.

What I said is what I’ve done and have had zero to worry about.

Yeah thats fair on your communities disappearing. Not really a common things thats happening though, and not something youd really notice until you used it for a while.

1. Sign up at lemmy.world.
2. Done

No need to explain all the other crap

Can you add me too. Desktop/mobile/Android/Ios all in one.

Though I see now mine looks just like wefwefs and they’re way ahead of me so I lost quite a bit of motivation to do this.

Very important note: We need Oauth. Putting your username/password onto an external app is not safe. A malicious dev can log all of it.

Lmao they put all their developers on actively making the site worse. They intentionally made the whole desktop experience so shitty so you use their shitty app.

How lovely

Nah I disagree. Turning things less serious is not necessarily a bad thing. People will visit to check it out but long term it will get stale and die off.

Agree, let them do whatever they want.

If this place turns into rage bait content like reddit Im out. Way too nice outside to deal with cynical assholes to discuss irrelevant stuff that has no real impact

I like this about the reddit UI where you can click anywhere on the vertical bar to collapse them. Collapse should be easier than the tiny button imo

I mean you don’t have to link people to join-lemmy. We can just link them to lemmy.ml or whatever and using it is exactly like reddit.

I don’t think the federation in itself is an issue. We just need to figure out how to present it, and integrate everything.

At the time, there was a lot of popular sentiment, on reddit itself, that the internet should be free and it should allowed to continue so long as it was legal.

Nah that is most likely very true. If they go public that would also be quite obvious as they have to release all their financials. A lot of giant organizations are not/were not making money for a long time, including Snapchat, Twitter, Uber, etc.

There is a huge cost to running these things.

He did not

Being a moderator on the jailbait subreddit, a community for sharing sexually suggestive pictures of underage teenage girls

This one is a lie, he was added as a moderator by another mod, at a time when anyone could do so. Lets please stop spreading this.

I don’t think it’s a lie, but it highlights that revenue is all they’re thinking about.

God why is everyone on reddit a cynical asshole?
